## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 24k-labs-text-translation-api-0b6a85eb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Translate this product description into Spanish, keeping the tone and formatting intact: 'Our premium coffee beans are sourced from the highlands of Ethiopia, roasted to perfection for a rich, smooth flavor.'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a straightforward, cost-effective programmatic text translation that preserves tone and formatting, especially within an agentic workflow that already uses the 24K Labs API suite for other utilities (grammar correction, content generation, etc.). Best for short-to-medium text blocks where real-time response is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported target language code returns an error
- Empty or missing source text results in a bad request
- Very long text may exceed input size limits
- Ambiguous source language may cause inaccurate translation
